Sooo he kissed ass, had respect from everyone, and this was the career he got from it?
Oh right
>have your fresh gimmick change killed by Hunter

>>18203744
at least he didn't join the kiss my ass club
some guys got it worse

>>18203744
He got a good pay and a steady job

If you were a wrestler would you be obsessed with being THE guy, front and center of everything? Its not the easiest place to be in and not everyone is aiming for it

>>18203787
it's true and we can never deny that job security in wrestling was a rare thing he wasn;t even over after a certain point, he was a designated just above midcard job guy, apart from a bright spot in Hell NO
can you remember anything corporate kane did? i am legit blanking.

>>18203744
Kane wasn't a mark
He had a good gig and didn't seem like he cared too much about the wrestling politics and still had a career most any wrestler would kill for
I'd just roll with it too

>>18203744
Monster gimmicks usually have a very short expiry period, he made a whole career out of it. I'd say he played it pretty smart, even with all the goofy stuff he had to do.

>>18203744
ive met him before out of character at a children’s hospital and had a good chat with him, he’s a good person and shockingly articulate
who cares about mark belts, money and miles

>>18203937
>tfw too smart to win the world title
what a curse, to be blessed with this enlightenment

>>18203787
I can respect his game, but the lil Jimmy of yesteryear is still sad

>>18203744
Kane didn’t need the title. He got to show up and get a huge pop wherever he was, work a 5 minute match where he takes little to no bumps, and get paid 7 figures to do it. Career midcarders like Kane are actually the smartest guys in the business. Is being a top guy working your ass off for star ratings really worth it when you’re crippled with brain damage in your 50s?

>>18204363
jesus give him some credit, maybe he could have a run with the belt that gives him some legitimacy without turning into the first wwf top guy in the world that cared about stars in the observer
but no getting slapped down hard is the smart play, because you get midcard money and sell less merch, but hey you managed to keep a job in the wrestling business

Fuck, i caught myself on the edge of this post by some counter culture sad lord trying to punch down on one of the most well liked and inoffensive workers in the industry who is perma over. Probably because they're trying so hard to get a reaction and validate their otherwise empty existence, and don't have anything better to do than farm emotions from randoms on the internet, hoping some media outlet will pick it up as a legitimate take on the pulse of the fandom.

Anyone got a bandaid? Wait, no, i found one.

>>18205589
this guy was saying he was incredibly smart for never getting pushed properly by the way, it leads to long careers you see

>>18203712 (OP)
>thanks glennster make sure to hit the chokeslam and the pyro to send em home happy

>>18203744
Hey, retard. He was fake Diesel and Isaac Yankem and finally found a gimmick that was over. Fucking dumbass.

>>18206347
one that didn't involve selling, talking or facial expressions was the one that did it for him

>>18203744
Kane was always over

>>18206440
he had a career after 99 and that magical first taker feud, it never reached those heights again, unless you think Katie Vick did him some favours

>>18206365
>forgot legendary Kane-inites promo

>>18206365
Kane has goated facials my guy

>>18207149
if you're talking about the half mask he got that a bit later, maskless even more
i'm not saying he had no talent, but the kane gimmick was essentially just a guy big enough to look like he could take undertaker while Bearer hard carried the promo side.
